America gets not-special Limited Edition Dissidia PSP bundle
35
Square Enix loves bundling its PSP games with hardware. It's the company's way of single-handedly getting more systems into the wild so that more people will buy its next game -- and there's always a "next game." Strangely, these bundles tend to be more common in Japan and Europe, but not anymore. The PlayStation Blog has just announced that a Dissidia bundle is headed to the US of A, exclusive to Gamestop.
For $199.99 your new Dissidia bundle, available on August 25, will contain a copy of Dissidia, a copy of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, a 2GB memory stick and aspecial branded Dissidia PSP-3000. Oh, wait -- it's just a bog standard Mystic Silver system. Where's the limited edition Dissidia unit that was available in Japan? Oh well, if Crisis Core is anything to go by, Europe will probably get it when it finally releases there in the year 2051.

$200 for a 4+ year old handheld is way to much. drop that bundle $50, hell of a deal!

infamous hell no. you ps3 fanboys r like "why be so cheap" yet you complain about the cost of live which is less than $4 a month at regular price. Its an old handheld that has been surpassed by the iphone. It has sum good games coming out, but still, its too expensive

Do they have a Final Fantasy: Crisis Core bundle? I like the idea of this bundle but would prefer the game Crisis Core over this game.

The character art is to die for. Reminds me of the good old days when Squaresoft made awesome games with awesome characters. Last game from them like that was Final Fantasy 7.

I like the Awesome series as much as the next guy, but I just can't handle this contradiction

That is one solid bundle. I already have a PSP and Advent Children... but if I didn't I would get this in a second. I am planning on getting Dissidia the day it's released.

Still disappointed that Madden,Hanna, and Star Wars get exclusive colors but no Final Fantasy?

I saw the NA box art for this, it's not the beautiful Yoshitaka Amano piece with Cosmos and the heroes. It's Nomura's character riot on the front (what you see on the bundle box).
Sounds like it would be a complaint, but since it reminds me of FFT: War of the Lions box art I like it.

What about the new iteration of the PSP? Isn't it going to be announced in June in E3? Guess then it ain't coming out until the very end of the year.

That's a lot of bundles in one summer... which makes me think that no PSP2 will be announced, forcing me into the PSP-3000. Oh well, playing outside while waiting for the bus, here I come!

If psp is overpriced at $200, I really think the dsi is really overpriced at $250.

or $200.....but the fact remains that despite the fact that the dsi is very new....the DS as a hardware is just as old as the psp and it warrants a price drop as well

I agree with most of you about the fft boxart. That was my reason that I bought it as well, although I expected it to be some cell shaded graphics or something, I was still happy with the game. And at least it isn't the blank boxart with just the title on it.

I wanna see the ultimate final fantasy bundle for psp. i hate these stupid bundles that give you nothing more than a game and a normal psp.
It would've been a good idea if they made the cosmos/chaos psp, threw in, dissidia, crisis core, advent children and a four gb
id pay 250 for that
